20 things you may not know about 'Forrest Gump' as the movie celebrates 20 years. Forrest Gump, which ran onto the big screen on July 6, 1994, was based on the book written by Mobile native Winston Groom. Like many movies based on books, the screenplay doesn't follow the book. Writer Eric Roth made the love story primary and Forrest Gump's adventures secondary. Roth also added Gump needing braces as a child and his run across the United States. However, in talking with Groom, he doesn't appear miffed at the liberties.
Following the success of the movie, Winston Groom wrote a sequel novel, 'Gump & Co.' (1995), which referenced the movie as if it had been released in Forrest's world (he mentions that the movie was an inaccurate telling of his life - and brought him unwanted press attention). Forrest also meets Tom Hanks in the novel.
